Setbacks

Unfortunately since we arrived back in Spokane we have been hit with some frustrating setbacks. The day before we left Arizona, my (Ellie) back went out and I could barely move. We weren't sure if we'd even be able to fly home but we forced it because we really needed to get back. I won't lie, it was a horrible day of travel. I was in excruciating pain the entire time, almost passed out at check in, and Callie had to miss a nap and was pretty difficult, but we made it. Since then I've been bedridden for several days without much improvement. Thankfully my parents came the day after arriving home and have been a huge help.

In addition, today was supposed to be the day to tackle our house/yard projects in preparation to sell and we woke up to rain! People from the church came to help but there wasn't much we could do since most of the projects that need to be done are outside. We will get it all done when it gets done I guess. In the meantime we need to just trust that God has good reasons for all of these things.

We could really use prayer for healing for my back. It's hard not to feel completely discouraged as this has been an ongoing issue. I'm still working with a physical therapist to build my core strength, but the fact that I am pregnant doesn't help the issue (the hormones cause the joints/ligaments to be loose).

Please also continue to pray that we can overcome the obstacles to selling the house and moving out, and for peace during this time.

Thank you to all who are a part of this journey with us, and for your prayer and encouragement!
